Penrith had their fair share of injured players out tonight

If TC plays we win on defense alone

Chad has a lot of work to do in that area.

Great thread from the collar up pink shirt wearing never played a game in his life.
The kick off ruling was appalling. Simple. If it was the 100th minute of a grand final & they came up with that clanger, somebody would dead set kill the cutie.
So back in your hole Mr Whimpy.
On the side note, as soon as I saw the team going for teh field goal from 45 out, I knew we were gone.
Hopeless coaching.
Looks like Flanno wont reach Stickys win loss record of 08 now, with a much lesser squad.
That will hurt squeelers like redback, Dragon Slayer et al.

If TC plays, we may defend better... But we will not score.

The team we had on the field did their best to win that game.
In my opinion, they had done all they could. That should have been enough until the refs came along and took over.

Put Carney in for Townsend, Gallen in for Green. Graham in for Frizell. Gibbs in for Tafua.
We win. By a lot.
There's a reason that people play reserve grade. Should be joined there next week by the pinkies.

^^^^^^This!

Bad decisions went both ways but the Two majors cruelled us.....
1. Kick off did not go past the 10m line
2. Charge down was off side

the pink men are kilig the game!!!

AH this gem. You know nothing about me reefy you deluded androtrop,
I've played many games I assure you, and I have refereed many too. I am very critical of referees, but I will not overlook the teams performance that cost us the game - not the referees.

The kick off ruling was appalling. Simple. If it was the 100th minute of a grand final & they came up with that clanger, somebody would dead set kill the cutie.

I didn't think it went the ten, but the replay was inconclusive. Fact is, we should have been able to defend one set of six against the team coming second last.

So back in your hole Mr Whimpy.

One of your best keyboard hero.

I look forward to Parramatta having one good season before falling in a heap... That is Sticky's MO.

Our defensive structures are extremely weak. We seem to be waiting for the opposition to come to us rather than trying to shut the team down and kill the offload.

The referees have always been shit and they have always been getting worse every year... Doesn't everyone know this?

Just got home

Where we're all of you merkins?

Now
A gazil camera's every game tells me that kick off did not go 10.

The refs got that one wrong.
It had a massive influence on the result .

Massive.

So depressed I am watching TVS hardcore shit
.. And shit it is .

My thoughts exactly, Robo. ONE BLOODY SET.

Yep, just one set. All I can think about. Had a sinking feeling though as the ball went out though, just been that type of season.

To steal a line from Bill Simmons, stomach punch loss. Not sure we come back from that.

Not blaming refs bla bla bla.
But did noone else see the Panthers winger pass the ball 10m before taking the quick 20m tap for the break that lead to the first Panthers try? The rule is that if a ball is kicked dead then only the person who retrieves the ball can run up and take the quick tap on the 20m. I have also heard a ref explain that it is acceptable if there is a short pass involved. The winger passed it from the 10m line out to Kingston who was standing at the 20m line. Kingston took the tap and passed it to Gordon who made a 50m run. They scored 3 plays later. The ref said 'that is fine' when he passed it to Kingston. No, it's not fine. The Sharks should have been allowed to set their line.
